Kiss Alive? to each his own, but I think they had the ability to come up with great tunes, the image was unique for its time, and they were an influential band. all 4 original members don't seem to have the best personalities, but so many classic tunes, riffs, and solos imo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Last year I think Slash had reached his limit for going through the motions on the same songs over and over but still needed that cash. His playing was like a cry for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just familiar with their hits. But their whole shtick seems so fake and un-rock n roll to me. Was never really my cup of tea. 27 minutes ago, JimiRose said: Sounds like something someone that cant rock n roll all night, and party every day would say. i might be able to pull of the former, but too lazy for the latter.

Their influence is massive....Slash himself says Kiss were one of his biggest influences in his book. 4 hours ago, Stress Fracture said: Last year I think Slash had reached his limit for going through the motions on the same songs over and over but still needed that cash. His playing was like a cry for help. He just looks so bored and lifeless. When you see him play elsewhere (SMKC etc) it seems like a different guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get people that say and think this, but I think that, in the prime, few bands had a run like they did. Those first 7 albums + Alive were massive.

Their bad albums greatly outnumber their good albums, but they had a solid run in the mid 70's with a succession of really good records: Alive ! (75) Destroyer (76) Rock And Roll Over (76) Love Gun (77) Alive II (77) After Ace and Peter left for good in the early 2000's, they should have dropped the makeup. I think it's sad that you have two pretty good musicians that pretend to be Spaceman and Catman because Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons believe continuing to wear the makeup makes them the most money.

Once you go all-in on merchandising, you're not a band as much as you are a business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was smart to keep it, even if there was backlash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Paul Stanley has been criticized in recent years for lip syncing. Credit where it's due, despite differing opinions on Axl's vocal chops over recent years, he has never resorted to lip syncing to cover any flaws. That said, Paul has a good 10 years on him so there's still time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're right though aren't they in terms of the makeup? It does make them the most money. It's pretty iconic. I really liked their two most recent albums a lot. Nothing new, sure, but in terms of big choruses, guitar solos and generally enjoyable bombast, they're great in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitchisback Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 13 hours ago, JimiRose said: Kiss are better live than GnR. you say GnR are just live rock n roll, but they're charging $200 for tickets, playing in stadiums and offering very little actual rock n roll. Continue to defend the indefensible and sadly we'll continue to get these half arsed cheap shows. GnR can play ampitheatres or clubs if they want to be live raw rock n roll and 'Punk as fuck' but in a stadium you give a stadium show. Not a blown up club show with diminishing vocals and efforts. Lmao I thought you were being serious at first. My bad for not realizing you were being sarcastic this whole time. That was a good one tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 GNR don't need to have Kiss levels of pyro but they could definitely have a better show than they did last year. A 'punk as fuck' show would be fine if the band wasn't going through the motions... but they'd benefit from adding pyro to their hits at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some half decent tunes, but it's hard to take them seriously as a band, rather than a brand. Massively influential to rock, hard rock, metal, and even death metal bands. They've had good albums and songs throughout their history and are open about being a brand as much as a band. I say that while not even being that into them. Guns N' Roses is more jarring because they've become such a bland corporate brand which clashes with their classic years. You see it with their social media posts which seem designed to appeal to everyone because they're really a family friendly band now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 All I know is the Guns is my favorite band , and I'm not going to buy a ticket this time around . But I did buy one for Kiss! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Majority of the GNR Members are in their late 50's and 60's. It would be SAD to see a bunch of late 50's and early 60's being the Hellions of their 20's and early 30's. Melissa is the only one who in her early 30's is the only one who could still act like a Hellion but it would look weird considering all of her Coworkers are in their late 50's and early 60's. I doubt they'd be okay with Melissa being a Hellion and she doesn't seem like she'd be into being a Hellion either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) GnR is possibly playing this Powertrip festival in California in October. Metallica just teased something about them playing as well. Iron Maiden and Ozzy have posted the same video as Metallica. So that's 3/6 rumored acts. AC/DC and tool are rumored as well since they also shared the video. So if Gn'R is the rumored sixth act,they have yet to share the video. If they do,I could see the days being: Ozzy/Metallica GnR/tool AC/DC/Iron Maiden. https://blabbermouth.net/news/metallica-iron-maiden-and-ozzy-osbourne-are-rumored-headliners-of-this-years-power-trip-festival https://inforoo.com/thread/36173/power-trip-2023?page=6 Edited March 29, 2023 by Subtle Signs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
